Springbok vs Ireland: Bizarre Case of ‘Who Are You?'

Network error while loading playlist url

Recently on Dr Rassie Erasmus' podcast, he and Felix Jones both revealed that they didn't actually know who the other was before they began working together.

In this episode Peter explores the funny side of that but also delves into the tribal nature of rugby and how we often love our own, while only paying minimal attention to our opposition.
